not round butts

[Gord]

so how do most deal with stumps that are oddly shaped as far as felling them goes? i find that to get adequate holding wood it's necessary at times to go more deep or more shallow than what would be usually appropriate to ensure enough a wide enough hinge. here's a pic of a bunch of lombardy poplars that i removed. we fell about 30' spars from most of them so not that much was being asked of the holding wood except for accurate direction (ie there wasn't a great deal of force comparitively if they had been whole trees.)

Exceptional collage, sir

These stumps tell the story of that their trees who fell precisely where the feller told them to.

What's to talk about?  Looks like you done it right.  All that's left to do is pat you on the back.
